Rule out using Intermountain 5/5 EDEs, as they are about 0.025"+ too narrow for use on Branchline box cars.

Does anyone make a 5/5 Dreadnaught end that fits the Branchline
10-6 car bodies? I would think
that might be a useful part to have for other projects too. Hard
to understand if there is no cast resin
50 foot Z-eave rectangular panel roof out there, since the
master could be made easily enough from
a couple of IMWX/RC roofs. :-\

Thanks everyone for the
additional info. Ron - the drawing is especially helpful.
After some research, the Proto 2000 car may not be the best
candidate. There are fewer side panels than the MoPac car. I'm
looking into the Branchline 50' double door car. It looks like
the side panels and sill are correct. However, it doesn't have
the Murphy roof. At least the roof is not cast into the car
body so easier to replace. Once I get in hand I'll know more.
